Description from store This extension allows you to flag specified websites by adding a colored label depending on the URL configuration. It also supports regular expression (including wildcards), color picker, and positioning preferences. When it comes to IT projects, it is very common having multiple environments: dev, QA, stage, and production. All those environments' interfaces are mostly identical, and as a consequence, mistakes may happen very often. Who had never faced the situation when we intended to do a "little test" thinking it was doing in "dev" and suddenly realized that was in the production environment, and ended up applying a configuration in the wrong environment? After all, screw-ups are easy to happen because the look and feel of those sites are the same except by the discreet URL in the browser address bar. That is when the Environment Marker Extension comes into play. The Environment Marker is a free and open-source Chrome extension that allows you to configure the URLs of your project's environments and assign a colored "label" on the corner of the browser window, identifying the environment for you. No more screw-ups in the production environment! Available functionalities: - Color picker to configure label color. - Support regular expressions in the URL address (regexp). - Support to choose the position of the label: Top-right, Top-left, Bottom-right, Bottom-left. - Support "Quick Config" mode: an easy and fast way to set it up. - Export and Import feature. How to use: - After installing, access Bowser Configurations > More Tools > Extensions OR Click on the red pencil on the right side of the address bar. - Click on the Options menu, over the Environment Marker section. - Configure your Environments and click on the Save button. Latest release notes v1.1: NOTICE: Before updating make sure that you have a backup from your configuration. You can export your configuration using the "Export" functionality under Bowser Configurations > More Tools > Extensions and go to the extension "Options" menu. - Introduced a new way to import a file hosted by a server. You can choose whether you want to automatically import the file in case of any changes occur. Environment Marker is OpenSource and contributions are welcome! https://github.com/geovanneb/envmarker

(2023-08-02) Kevin Clark: Great add-in. I've put in a feature request for a "mouse over transparency" feature, which would solve the only thing I wish it did.
(2023-04-13) Jay Genaza: Lifesaver. Would be nice if it changed the tab color too!
(2022-12-27) Игорь Александрович: Замечательное расширение. Не думал что найду то, что мне нужно)
(2022-11-10) Jan Pippal: Exactly what I was looking for. Love you man. I only wish it could be sized up.
(2022-11-02) Mahesh Wagh: Very useful extension!
(2022-10-13) Suzy Johnson: simple and useful
(2022-05-06) Tomáš K: Very useful!
(2022-03-31) Bruno Silva: Thanks for this extension, it's very helpful! One small suggestion: it would be nice if the "hide label" action could keep the state between page refreshes. That would be really useful, for example, when checking pages on small screen sizes, where the label can really get on the way, and hiding it after every page refresh is a bit annoying.
(2021-04-30) Eric Julien: Really nice, but add transparency to able to see button below banner.
(2021-02-22) Robert Hawke: very nicely done! only issue i have is that no matter what corner i place it in, at some times it blocks what I should see. It would be nice to have a transparency option in the settings. Or a way to temporarily hide it by clicking on it.
(2020-08-10) Bruno da Silva Bertolani: Simple and useful
(2020-07-20) Eric Kinney: I like how it makes it very obvious. I wish it could work based on IP address instead of URL - our production and dev is always the same URL, but we manipulate which PROD/DEV by adjusting the hosts file. We need a tool like Environment Marker to help us know which site we are on at all times but it needs to be based on IP address, not restricted to URL only
(2020-07-07) Paulo Roberto Beccaro: Total Lifesaver! There's no more need to quadruple check the URL before submitting something in Swagger.
(2020-06-25) Chrisse Gannon Carothers: Thank you for saving me from countless "Did I make that change in QA or Dev?" thoughts in my head!
(2020-01-17) Alfeu Lucas: Simple and powerful! It just works! No more screwing up with environments :)
(2019-12-19) Ronaldo Figueiredo: I really enjoyed it. It prevents us from making silly mistakes among the environments. Our DEV team is installing on their machines !!! I would like to be able to customize the font size to allow me to see up to 2 lines. The reason is that sometimes we need to display the "Project´s name + Environment" . Anyway, my friend, congrats and tks a lot!!!
(2019-12-12) Richard Campbell: simple, works, very nice
(2019-11-13) Ken: Simple but Extremely Effective! I know this is going to be one of my favorite extensions and will be one that I reinstall right away, whenever I am setting up a new environment!
(2019-04-29) Sharad Khanna: Great idea and I really like the easy identification marker that shows up. One problem for me at least - was that I couldn't access controls under it. I was hoping there could be option to move it around the screen - like different corners or even the sides..
(2019-03-15) Very helpful. Avoid screw ups with this extension.
(2019-02-18) Ruben Chavez: Super helpful for our dev team. Works like a charm. No more special code needed when cloning environments.
(2018-11-26) Roberto Barrios: Very easy to use and setup. Would love to get more customization options (change type of ribbon, placement, text type, hide on mouse hover, etc).
(2018-05-09) Manon L: Fonctionne bien mais j'avais besoin de cette application également pour détecter les différentes IP. Elle ne fonctionne que par nom de domaine malheureusement.
(2017-09-13) Great idea!
(2017-06-21) Cherie Cheong: Muito show de bola! Obrigada Geovanne!
(2017-06-21) Lucas Silva: Really useful! Thank you Geovanne for that!
(2017-06-14) Jon Barson: Does what it says on the label. Thanks Geovanne!
